HE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: TUESDAY MORNING, 1881

not only the desire for honorable labor, but
trains its mind, and also trains It's hands so
that It can become proficient and skillful in
whatever branch Of manual labor It may
select as life work.
AS the schools are now conducted the
child is taught that knowledge obtained
from books is all that is valuable to IT, and
this necessarily leads the immature mind to
look upon manual labor as degrading and
unworthy any one who has acquired knowl-
edge from books. And this Is not all the
evil wrought, for, while the mind is led
astray, the hands are left in Ignorance OF
what they can do.
Every one Of the advanced grades OF the
public schools should teach manual labor.
or course we do not propose TO say that
the boys and girls should be indiscrimln-
ately set to work at dltching or well-dig.
ging, but the tools OF the craftsman should
be provided and the boys learned the use Of
them. Each boy would select those to
which his mind had an inclination, and
when the selection was made an hour or
two hours labor each day should be reg.
ularly required.
This would probably lessen the number OF
studies and so much the better. The differen.
tial calculus and the knowledge Of how Ken
ophon conducted his retreat from Persia
might not be acquired before the youth
left the school house, but he would know,
instead Of these, how to frame building,
make a stairway, plaster house, lay a
brick wall, set this article IN type, or some
one Of a hundred other things through
which he could make an honorable living
and provide for comfortable old age.
And the girls should be taught to sew
and knit and cook and do all the other work
that is required Of a woman, besides which
they could be instructed In the lighter arts
OF labor, so that they, too, when they left
| the school room, would be ready for any
career that fortune or fate placed before
them. They might not be so proficient In
| algebra or be able to jabber In bad French,
but they would be better prepared for the
battle Of life.'
Books do not contain all the knowled 70
| Of the world, nor can all the people of the
| United States become professional men and
| women. The supply Of these now more

school system in all our cities and towns
is gradually but surely engrafting upon the
minds Of our youth the false idea that
manual labor is degrading to the educated
man or woman, and yet the truth is that
they are capable, bee iuse OF their education
of performing this labor better than any
one else.
We are not speaking OF the effect OF
Washington schools only, but Of the school:
everywhere, but we are advocating that the
Washington public schools are the places,
above all others, where the system Of teach
ing manual labor In the schools should be
commenced. So far as the boys are con
cerned they would be delighted at the
change, and the benefits to them and to thu
country would be incalculable.

pertinacity with which the average mind ad'
heres to error, 1t is much to be feared that the
outcome of the difficulties environing our naval
gun experts is too far off to be easily recog'
nized by an unbiased observer. 1t Is certain
that so long as one man, or one bureau, as
sumes TO have reached the ultimate frontier OF
knowledge in the science and mechanics Of
gun construction, so long will constant
source of errors and disasters continue to exist,
In claiming for guns which have not been

Guns and Their Carriages In the Navy,

"uhb anu Aheir SarfA"Ees III the Nhby'
The army and Nary JOTaal an ac-
cepted authority on matters pertaining to
those branches Of the government, contains
an editorial In its issue of Apr. 80 on the
question of "guns and their carriages in the
navy" which is SO pertinent that we give
II below In full.
The subject is one of such Importance
that while Secretary Whitney cannot be-
expected to attend personally to all the
details Of the Navy Department, 1t might
be well for him, in the interest OF the pub
lie service and the rebuilding OF the navy,
which he evidently has at heart, to devote
some Of his time and attention specially TO
this matter, particularly after what has
been developed IN the case of the Atlanta
as stated by the Journal!
Notwithstanding the assertions to the con.
trary, the battery of the Atlanta Is not yet
ready for service, and from what can be
learned on this interesting subjectit promises to
be some time before this fine ship can be 70.
garded as ready for squadron duty. From the
mistakes discovered, and presumably roctilel,
in experimenting with the guns Of the Atlanta,
1t is fair to assume that when the Boston's bat
terry shall be mounted In place, the trial OF tho
guns at sea will be coincident with the expert
ments with engines and auxiliary machinery,
In view of the speed and efficiency developed
by the Atlanta during the recent trial trip In

Industrial Education in the School

House.
All over the country we find the cry for
"industrial education" In the schools, and
most particularly In the public schools,
which are paid for by the peoples money.
There is great reason for this. The boys
and girls Of the country are not taught, as
they should he, that labor dlguiGes men and
women-that 1t is the primal law of nature
that avery animate thing on earth must
labor in some way or other, and there is a
growing demand that labor should be
practically taught In the schools.
There have been and are now number OF
industrial schools, such as the Cooper Union
Trade Schools, Technical Institute, and
others Of that class, which may be regarded
as the colleges and universities of Industrial
education, but the demand is for the educa-
tional foundation which precedes the col
lege course, and which gives to the child,
